LoadingBlack.jpg (84749 bytes)alabama1.jpg (65699 bytes)Adverse weather reporting kept some of the well know shooters away today but still the diehard were here with guns a blazing.
An enjoyable five stages were shot featuring some trick shooting at the Opal Mine and a few lessons were taught on Stage 5 by Buckskin Leslie using his wife as an in between the targets. Due to his expert teaching skills no harm came to his wife. You will be able to get similar skills next week 7th March,2010. Be there and get square.
Only 8 mm of rain fell in one heavy shower during the match. Today's scores are here 28022010.pdf

Firstly I would like to Lakota Cpt AugMc.jpg (81084 bytes)thank the Cowboys and Cowgirls that braved the wet conditions today and made our shoot an enjoyable one. Yes,19 mm of rain fell during the five courses of fire, I guess in a way the conditions were quite pleasant as we were forced to take shelter only twice.For those that shot the previous shoot, then you will be able to compare your scores that are located by clicking on the pdf file.07022010.pdf

Top temperature today was 30 degrees but a cooling southerly made for pleasant shooting conditions. The cowboys started rolling in at 8am ready for the days competition. It was also pleasing to see visitors coming for a look see. Thanks Cpt Augustus and I.D.Claire for issuing out the invitations. Also a very Special Thankyou to the man that was Doc Holidays lifetime mate Bill Neville,for the perpetual trophy " Rest Easy Macca Old Mate" he made in honour of his mate".

Yes, good shooting weather again today at The Last Frontier. A mild cloudy day made for fast shooting scores. It was pleasing to see the southern shooters here again, as one of them told me "The Last Frontier is one of the premier places to get in some top practise". Winners of the Pat Garrett were Wild Bill Fisher & Bull Shot. One Armed Bill was well again after last weeks burn out and he was back in good form. No Pony just clipped Alabama shooting times, I recond' he will have to watch out otherwise he may have to walk home in the future. Mohawk didn't drop his gun today and showed us some mighty fine shooting. Checkout the pdf file to view the scores. 01022009.pdf

February 26th.2006.sunday26.jpg (100943 bytes)LesterMoore.jpg (117838 bytes)The morning started with a couple of light showers and a temperature of 22c deg.(ie.66f.degrees for our American friends) and reaching a maximum of 31c (89f).Five demanding stages were shot and all present had a good time. We had two visitors today from the United Kingdom. They tell me that real bullets and pistols and dressing up in the Spirit of the Game are not allowed in the UK. Now that is something to think about. So to all you shooters in Australia its time to put Australian apathy aside and start participating in your Clubs Events before its too late.
